National Kite Flying Day

Today is Kite Flying Day

To me, watching a kite
flying is like looking at a rainbow – both high in the sky and quite
beautiful. Doing either one with a child
is even more magical.

Once more, I turn to my small book with great ideas, “To a
Child Love is Spelled Time,” by Mac Anderson & Lance Wubbels. The book is
filled with wonderful quotes about spending time with a child. Here are a few:

“A hundred years from now,
it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived, or the
kind of car I drove. But the world may be different because I was important in
the life of a child.”Forest E. Witcraft

“Children are what we make
them.” – French Proverb

“Encouragement is oxygen
to the soul.” – George Adams

“All children are artists,
and it is an indictment of our culture that so many of them lose their
creativity, their unfettered imaginations, as they grow older.” – Madeleine
L’Engle

“Our greatest danger in
life is in permitting the urgent things to crowd out the important.” –Charles E. Hummel

“The great man is he who
does not lose his child’s heart.” – Mencius

So, stop what you are
doing and …GO FLY A KITE, with a child, of course.
